cup quinoa

Quinoa Cucumber & Mint Salad is a simple to make anytime of the year. So impressed was I that hubby really enjoyed this salad. So much so he took it for lunch today. Now if only I could get the kidlets to enjoy quinoa since it is a complete protein and good for you. Here’s hoping one day!

This is a quick-lunch, side dish or even meal for one. Add some roasted/grilled chicken if you wish or it as is. Yum.

I love quick and easy breakfasts. Oatmeal is a favourite go to of mine, especially camping. Since meeting my husband I’ve been introduced to Red River Cereal which I adore as well. My daughter asks for Cream of Wheat once a week. It’s nice to be able to change it up a bit and that’s what I did when this recipe was created.

Versatile like smoothies, you can add whatever toppings you like or have in your pantry. I used cranberries, raisins, apricots and almonds. This is a very filling breakfast for one but can easily be shared by two. Did you know quinoa is a great source of protein/iron?

This meal is Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox friendly. Your milk options are Almond Milk or unsweetened Coconut Milk. Sprinkle with almonds and fresh berries or the fruit allowed while on the D-Tox.
